So earlier tonight I was finally able to really drive my car for the first time on e85. I was loving the new found power. I hit about 120-125 then all of a sudden my radio shut off, my oil, battery, and handbrake light came on the dash. When I slowed down to a respectable speed the lights went away and my radio came back on. Any ideas as to what could've caused this?

 

Check your connections and grounds at the alternator and the battery.

 

Everything seems firm and in its place, if something is loose, wouldn't everything still be lighting up?? as soon as i slowed down to about 80 everything went back to normal. I heard a rumor a while ago before i got the evo that if you start going too fast something like this happens as like a safety feature to tell you to slow down pretty much but i have no idea.

 

uh.....youre kidding right?

Keep checking connectors. Something is loose.

 

Something is loose, Or I've had it even happen to where you have an exhaust leak/ something is overheating the alternator causing it to not to do it's job. I know the exhaust is nowhere near the alternator on these cars, but something to look at. I'd also test the alternator and battery too.

Good luck.

 

Hmm, may be a longshot, but have you looked at your firewall harness connector? Check out this thread for info.
